[ANNOUNCE] git-multimail 1.1.0-rc1

[Matthieu Moy]

Hi,

I'm happy to announce the first release candidate of git-multimail 1.1.

git-multimail is a tool to send notification emails for pushes to a git
repository. It can be downloaded from
https://github.com/git-multimail/git-multimail (the release itself can
be seen here: https://github.com/git-multimail/git-multimail/releases ).

The main new features are:

* When a single commit is pushed, omit the reference changed email.
  Set multimailhook.combineWhenSingleCommit to false to disable this
  new feature.

* In gitolite environments, the pusher's email address can be used as
  the From address by creating a specially formatted comment block in
  gitolite.conf (see multimailhook.from in README).

* Support for SMTP authentication and SSL/TLS encryption was added,
  see smtpUser, smtpPass, smtpEncryption in README.

* A new option scanCommitForCc was added to allow git-multimail to
  search the commit message for 'Cc: ...' lines, and add the
  corresponding emails in Cc.

* If $USER is not set, use the variable $USERNAME. This is needed on
  Windows platform to recognize the pusher.

* The emailPrefix variable can now be set to an empty string to remove
  the prefix.

* A short tutorial was added in doc/gitolite.rst to set up
  git-multimail with gitolite.

* The post-receive file was renamed to post-receive.example. It has
  always been an example (the standard way to call git-multimail is to
  call git_multimail.py), but it was unclear to many users.

* A new refchangeShowGraph option was added to make it possible to
  include both a graph and a log in the summary emails.  The options
  to control the graph formatting can be set via the new graphOpts
  option.

Internally, I've improved the testing system (plug travis-ci.org on the
GitHub repository, check PEP8 conformance in the code and RST on the
README). Hopefully, I didn't break too many things ;-).

Next on the roadmap:

* There's a long standing pull request (#52) to allow filtering out some
  refs. We still need to figure out what the best way to do this is.

* Once this is done, there are other pull requests on top of this to
  support Atlassian Stash and Gerrit.

* At some point, we'll need to start supporting Python 3.x, but I'd
  rather focus on features for now.

Please, test, report bugs, send patches ... and have fun!
